Taken from the 1997 album Chosen to be Frozen

lyrics

Hello, I’m your greatest fan
I’m glad to be your friend
I’ll lay my life down in your name
Defend you till the end
But please don’t be misguided
By my loyalty and charm
Because you’ve got something that I want
And I mean you harm

It’s not that I am jealous
Or unhappy with my lot
Maybe I’m a collector
Trying to fill a slot
So that’s why I tread lightly
I don’t want to cause alarm
But you are just a stepping stone
And I mean you harm

With half as big a head and twice as big a brain
My actions wouldn’t surprise you
But still you keep on trusting me
And making me despise you

Now it might seem disloyal
To treat you as I do
To go on in this manner
And still face up to you
But I’m the prince of the poker face
The king of keeping calm
And what you’ve got is what I want
And I mean you harm

With half as big a head and twice as big a brain
My actions wouldn’t surprise you
But still you keep on trusting me
And making me despise you
But you won’t be aware of my campaign
I wouldn’t want to annoy you
No I won’t interfere with your routine
As I set out to destroy you

Yes I’m the prince of the poker face
The king of keeping calm
And what you’ve got is what I want
And I mean you harm
